There is often limited knowledge and
understanding of climate change adaptation concepts and its implications at
local level. Climate change is a rather new phenomenon with potential risks but
limited reaction of policy makers. The capacities for adaptive planning,
informed policy development and climate proof programming are often weak. This
course on climate change adaptation in agriculture and natural resource
management will help you to understand climate change adaptation concepts, be
able to effectively and meaningfully contribute to the debate on climate change
adaptation, either in the policy process and/or in providing knowledge to the
policy process and apply the concepts of climate change adaptation within the
context of sustainable development.
